transfer domain site testing

[DataMan]

As stated previously, I'm in the process of transferring my site to HostMonster. At this point I would like to start pre-testing the uploaded site to make sure everything is working properly before the domain transfer is completed. Spotted a tutorial on accessing the new site using the ip protocol in the http address.

I'm assuming the site ip address with HostMonster is the ip address shown at the left hand side of the C-Panel.

I've tried the following on a php test file I've generated with equal un-success (404 message). Appreciate any guidance.

1 http://<ip address>/<site name>/test.php
2 http://<ip address</~<site name>/test.php

Thanks,

DataMan

It should be:

http://<ip adress>/~username/test.php

where username is your CPanel login name.
